The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Consulate General in Los Angeles remind Chinese citizens going to the United States to be cautious when traveling to Arizona

China News Service, October 9 (Xinhua) According to the WeChat public account of the Consulate General in Los Angeles, most scenic spots in Arizona are located in remote areas and must pass through complex sections such as deserts and cliffs along the way. In the event of an emergency, rescue personnel may not be able to arrive in time. In recent years, there have been many serious traffic accidents in Arizona, resulting in heavy casualties. In addition, the state has hot weather for more than half a year every year, which can easily lead to dehydration, heat stroke and other diseases, and significantly increases the risk of vehicle breakdowns and traffic accidents. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Consulate General in Los Angeles remind Chinese citizens traveling to the United States to be cautious when traveling to Arizona. In case of emergency, please dial 911 immediately (Chinese service can be requested).

Recently, the economic and trade investment environment for mainland Chinese companies in Arizona has deteriorated, causing relevant companies to suffer heavy losses. It is recommended that Chinese companies strengthen their assessment of the state's business and investment environment and be cautious in doing business and investment in the state.
